Is there anything about yourself that you would change, if you could?
And do any of you have the ability or powers to change people's physical bodies? Like with magic, or something.
Not science.
[ Science has already let him down. Science led him here. Luther doesn't much savour the idea of another brilliant person with brilliant inventions trying to get beneath his ape-like skin, when he and his father already tried and failed.
There is something to be said for acceptance, and coming to terms with yourself and your new capabilities or lack thereof. Luther isn't there yet. And he has too many memories now, of an entire decade in the City without this albatross around his neck, this anchor around his ankle. Every time he thinks he might have readjusted to his malformed body again, this world delivers him another goddamned reminder of what he's lost: accidentally remaking his own form when dreams became real; his siblings winding up in others' bodies; waking up looking like his teenaged self, from a far simpler time. It rankles; makes it harder each time to feel comfortable again.
So. He asks the question, finally. ]
& ooc: I don't want to permanently 'fix' Luther, but if your character can do it, I would absolutely be open to a change backfiring or working temporarily! Feel free to plot ICly, or reach out OOCly to hash out some details!

which kinda works like magic but isn't bc my powers come from a genetic mutation
basically i can manipulate biological material on a genetic level
omg josh's powers are perfect for this.....
Huh. That sounds-- useful. And maybe a little terrifying.
But I'm used to superpowers. If they do the trick, I think they might be worth a try. What sort of manipulation do you do?
hes here to help you bro
i can rewrite your body to match whatever it is you need. ive reversed unnatural mutations and regrown limbs and organs from scratch.
i just need physical contact. i cant promise i can do everything in one go or even do what you need because my powers are weaker here

I didn't think I'd hear from anyone who could do anything like this, but that actually... sounds really promising. 'Unnatural mutation' is probably the closest description to what I've got.
And I get it's not a guarantee. That's fine.
[ Gulp. He has to force himself to type out the next bit, trepidatious: ]
I guess we'd have to meet in person, but if you're willing to... take a look, offer your thoughts. I'd really appreciate it.

I work out of De Chima General. If you ask for Dr. Foley they'll send you right up.
[ it wouldn't be the first time he's had to do it, and doing it for one person is easier than doing it for millions at once... but the problem is how strong his abilities are. whether he can make lasting changes, or whether or not the nanites will put things back to the way they think it should be.
its tricky. beyond tricky. ]

I think my family's a little paranoid I was gonna wind up with some hack job lunatic responding to this.
no subject
but yeah healing is like the one thing i'm good at and i really love doing it
no subject
[ ... and he pauses before typing more, wrestling with whether or not to offer more information. finally decides that it's inevitable: ]
My name's Luther Hargreeves. So you'll know, when I show up.
no subject
lets see what we can do to help you out.
[ he's not sure how much he can do, truthfully, but trying is better than not. nanites be damned. ]
